Wearing Red at the Polls? [aw!m vanity]

Posted on 11/05/2016 6:48:16 AM PDT by Arthur Wildfire! March

In some places, wearing red at the polls might get you attacked by leftist thugs. Just be warned. They look at it as 'gang colors'. [Mainly in urban areas.] And would it really achieve anything?

And is it a dangerous precedent? What if leftist thugs wear blue? Would they feel tempted to gang up on us in future elections? I was thinking about supporting the idea of wearing red to the polls to help make rigged vote counts more obvious, but it's not quite that simple.

Your thoughts?

I don’t blame you.

But is this a good policy? What will it achieve?

It’s getting cool here in Indy, and I’m riding my motorcycle to the polls if the weather okay. My jacket is red. So is the bike.

Wearing a Trump hat up to election day would probably have achieved more I’m thinking.

I already voted because I'll be out of town on business Election day. However, I may just wear Red that day just to show my support.

Of course, here in Texas Trump is probably gonna win by 30.

Trump hat to polling place is “electioneering” and prohibited.

Wearing RED is not.

If somebody protests, tell them to screw off since they haven’t objected to all those wearing blue.

In case of civil war, it would cut down greatly on mistakes.

I wore red in Texas and so did a lot of other people. I also wore a Kimber .45, a S&W .38 special and more than one sharp instrument.

There was a very long line and everyone was keeping to themselves. There were white folks, black folks and Hispanic folks within earshot when I said “she’s a criminal and I’d never vote for her”. It was as if I flipped a switch and everyone started talking. I was surprised how so many people were very informed about Wikileaks, the Clinton Foundation, etc.

A buddy of mine voted at the same early voting place yesterday. Someone kept driving by past the distance you can politic at and had a bullhorn screaming “Vote for Trump” and other things.

I wore red to early voting but I am not sure it would be a great idea in some locations.

The bike will be enough to let people know. Doesn’t matter the color.

‘Trump hat to polling place is “electioneering” and prohibited.’

You didn’t read my post quite closely enough, but that’s okay.

Right. In Detroit wearing red would probably be the last thing you wear.

What if the lefties all wear red? The signal that the red colors are meant to convey would be lost. I will wear red. There is no danger here of thuggery at the polls. There is little presence of those who would be dangerous. They are outnumbered enough that the danger would be to them if they were to attempt disruption.

AT my polling location, I’ll wear red.

But I will also get out of my car, walk across the dirt parking lot and just yell out:

“I..
....Am here..
.. To vote for Trump!”

I may record it.
